Characterization of Term Newborn with Diagnosis of Feeding Intolerance in First Week of Life
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
Introduction: The diagnosis of feeding intolerance in at term newborns is not based on the operational definition. There are not studies on risk factors. Objective: To characterize term newborns hospitalized with a diagnosis of feeding intolerance. To develop a quality analysis about diagnostic and to establish real incidence. Design and Methods: Retrospective cohort between 2011 and 2013. Prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum variables were analyzed as well as if the diagnosis met the criteria for the operational definition. Results: 11.3% of patients showed feeding intolerant, only 33% met the operational definition. The annual incidence was between 3.5% and 4.4%. In the characterization of the population, the most common variables were: consumption of artificial feeding (88%), maternal history of regional anesthesia (69%), jaundice (61%), male sex (58%), cesarean delivery (57 %), and hypoglycemia (53%). Conclusions: The incidence was similar to the one in other countries. 66% of patients did not meet the operational definition. Analytical depth studies exploring causal relationship are required.
